Criterium du Dauphine stage 6

Well the usual breakaway for this stage, but will it last or will the likes of OPQS come to the fore so Meersman can all but wrap up the points jersey.

Decision time for transfers, no doubt there will be a lot of people swapping Bertie / JRod for Froome / Valverde.

Looking at the way he climbed today I'd suggest not .....tomorrow is possibly a day that would suit ten dam , plus being so far off gc he would be allowed to go ....
Ultimately it will depend on how sky want to tackle the first 3 climbs , if they attack from the off to shell ppl then any break hopes will be shot down until after the feed point

I guess we're looking at it differently... I think he's worth bringing in on a day like today for someone like Froome, if you're really (!) behind and then swapping him back out the next stage... I think you're talking about having him and keeping him on the whole race.. Which I agree I wouldn't do... I meant for my list to be people you swap in...

Can I ask why you kept froome in then and not swap him out for tommy v ?
Even with a 10 point penalty he would have been worth it today ......  39

And judging on your finishing position in the Giro.......I'll ignore the breakaway advice you have given  7

Heh heh!  1

Voeckler scored no breakaway points only those for his stage win and GC placing!!
